i have the variable $a = 5; i want to show it in binary form, with length, equal 8, with writing * at white spaces, just like this, like this * * * * *101
here the script
$number = 5;
printf("%*8b", $number);
it doesn't work with *, but if "0"-s it works
printf("%08b", $number);
//returns 00000101
why it doesn't work with *?
